Researchers have developed a novel deep learning framework to improve the classification of circulating tumor cell (CTC) phenotypes. This framework addresses the challenges of limited data and lack of interpretability in current methods. It incorporates a targeted data augmentation strategy called Subsequence (SubSeq) to learn from localized trajectory segments and uses Gradient Weighted Class Activation Mapping to identify crucial trajectory features and physical regions within microfluidic devices that influence predictions. Experiments show that SubSeq enhances classification accuracy and provides biophysical insights into CTCs, potentially informing future diagnostic device designs. AI
